These Reading Rods are great for early readers to work on their literacy skills. This helps with prefix and suffix recognition and blending of words. We love hand-2-mind rods, which come in a wide variety… from CVC and sight words for kindergarten to more advanced literacy skilled for elementary years. These are on sale on Amazon and a great way to practice during summer break or to have on hand for back to school. Linking the items we used last year, and number blocks that helped with basic math too.
